Strangers in America

by Erika Meyers

 

“Erika Meyers’ Kafkaesque fable gives us a contemporary America of disappearing prosperity, endangered jobs, and fragmented families as witnessed specifically in the city grit of Cleveland, Ohio...Free of caricature, Strangers in America is peopled with individuals rich in human complexity....When you finish Strangers in America, the main character Helena Adamzik will still be there: tough, dead-pan funny,proud and enduring.”

-Robert Flanagan, final judge

Riders on the Storm: A Novel

by Susan Streeter Carpenter

 The1960's comes alive in this telling novel

of the years of rebellion and dreams. 

"I’ve always wondered why the sixties are so hard to write about. 

But Susan Streeter Carpenter proves it can be done with

equal parts insight,generosity, and honesty.

Her evocation of the time is among the best I've seen."

-Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club
